The original belongs to the EAA and I suppose the MoF figured it was better to own a replica than to borrow an original. I'm happy with the deal as it now means the original is only a couple of hours from me! :)


It did not belong to the EAA, it was on loan to them from NASM, it is now on display at Pima.

You're right of course Matt, and I was aware of that fact but it slipped my mind. Thanks for the correction.
